for toro y mois chaz bundick, 2011 has seen the release of his acclaimed sophomore album, underneath the pine, remix work for tyler, the creator, a split 7 inch with cloud nothings, and a steady stream of international tour dates. just over halfway through whats already been a busy year, the prolific producer has a brand new batch of lavishly funky material to offer. bundicks latest is no sloppily assembled bunch of pine session throwaways. the freaking out ep was put to tape in june during a period of touring quiescence. the release finds bundick reveling in twenty minutes of boogie, roping in the heavy sounds of groups like the gap band and mtume. while the first two tracks are modern takes on the 80s post-disco vibe, -sweet- sounds like the product of a todd edwards and teddy riley collaboration, with smooth synths weaving in and out of meticulously chopped and arranged vocal samples. the new jack influence spills over into the cover of cherrelle and alexander oneills -saturday love-, in which a swingbeat carries along fluttering piano lines steeped in delay. the eps crown jewel, -i can get love-, sees bundick assimilating styles of each of his to-date releases, with the synthesized funk of causers of this, the irresistible hooks of pine, and dance alias les sins penchant for filter effects and house beats. full of energy and crafted with a conciseness that begs repeated listens, freaking out is toro y mois most concentrated venture into pure dance floor hedonism.

by the age of 15, david rodigan was djing at school dances and youth clubs. the infectious, crazy back beat of jamaican ska first captivated him as a teenager in the mid 60 s, it was a driving, energetic sound which he found impossible to resist. when the pace cooled down and condensed into rock steady david was equally enamoured because the sweet, aching vocal style of jamaica s young stars could be heard to full effect.

madlib got a bit lost in his detour into jazz - madlib medicine shows 7 (high jazz) and 8 (advanced jazz). he was supposed to circle back with a punch-you-in-the-face return to hip-hop form - a collaborative album with detroit rapper frank nitti - but instead he found himself lost in the lost gates... a place where black soul (madlib medicine show 10) really means disco funk. sorry about that. the good news is: hes back. and that hip-hop album, for which the medicine show faithfully have been holding their tickets, is finally here. its called lowbudget high-fi music and its a interesting look back at the madlib medicine show and a prelude of what is to come in the 12th, 13th and Ð maybe Ð 9th releases in the series. all of the regular madlib collaborators Ð med, guilty simpson, strong arm steady Ð are represented here with exclusive tracks. karriem riggins pops in for a supreme team interlude, as does a.g. madlib digs out a jaylib-era track that was earmarked for the never-realized second album and, of course, interludes, outerludes and Ð probably Ð queludes abound. the madlib medicine show series is a combination of madlibs new hip-hop productions, remixes, beat tapes, and jazz, as well as mixtapes of funk, soul, brazilian, psych, jazz and other undefined forms of music from the beat...

in den fu§spuren von kŸnstlern wie david bowie, iggy pop und depeche mode, die einst nach berlin kamen, um die legendŠre dunkle energie der stadt einzufangen, sind nun auch !!! in deutschlands hauptstadt gereist, um eine platte zu produzieren, die einerseits nachdenklich stimmt und andererseits ihr direktestes, um nicht zu sagen: poppigstes album geworden ist. -strange weather, isn-t it?- ist au§erdem ihre strukturierteste platte bislang geworden, angefŸllt mit tiefen, derben grooves in der tradition ihrer 2003er-single -me and giuliani...- oder ihrer hymne -heart of hearts-. gleichzeitig lŠuft da dieser dunkle unterstrom durch die platte, der als kantiger kontrapunkt zur glŠnzenden oberflŠche agiert. kurzum: -strange weather, isn-t it?- ist die perfekte berlin-platte geworden!
